How do I Hide my Application?

I'm writing an application, and I don't want it to show up in our users
Applications list in the NT Task Manager. The form is set to invisible. I
don't mind if it shows up in the Process list, but NOT in the Applications
list. Can anyone tell me how to do this, or just point me in the right
direction?

Re: How do I Hide my Application?

That did not work... When I look at the Applications list in "Windows NT
Task Manager", my app still shows up.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks

Re: How do I Hide my Application?

I don't think you can do this. It's the operating system doing this as
part of its critical system functions. Perhaps you just need to permission
your users more vigilantly.
